Model locomotives have proven to be a hot ticket at auction, stealing the show and taking the top spots.
The vintage and antique toy sale was held at Mitchells in Cockermouth, where a number of highly sought-after items went under the hammer.
The event featured a privately-owned G gauge collection and was topped by an Accucraft gas-powered model of a 45mm scale Isle of Man live steam locomotive, Mona.
Estimated to fetch between £500 and £800, the model exceeded expectations and sold for £1,400.
Close behind, an Accucraft G gauge 4-4-2 T Adams Radial Tank sold for £1,100, well above its £600-£800 estimate.
A G gauge Quarry Hunslet live steam engine also performed strongly, achieving a hammer price of £1,000.
Beyond the locomotives, other standout lots included a gypsy-style Shetland pony cart, complete with painted boards and coach-sprung suspension, which sold for £380.
A large vintage Dinky, Corgi, and Matchbox collection of diecast model vehicles fetched £160, while a tinplate clockwork car with the Hess monogram brought in £200.
Collectors of pop culture memorabilia were also catered for, with a private Star Wars collection on offer.
A 123cm tall Darth Vader figure sold for £130, and 15 boxes of sealed Citadel Warhammer miniatures greatly exceeded their £60-£90 estimate, reaching £350.
In the soft toy category, a Steiff 'The Amiable Guinea Pig,' complete with original box, tag, and button, made £120.
